Just happened to know R6RS effort is underway for awhile.
chromatic, please don't be too serious about my last post. ;) you can read it as my halfly joking frustration towards unit testing instead. ;)
on the other hand, when you read about people talking about ideas of construction software, you have to:
1. check out what great projrects they have done before. this alone could save you alot of time from taking serious about many false ideas. in my case, i've only a hand of introductory articles. now you see. ;)
2. this point is rather radical. my take is the only next big news is a proof technique for real. nothing else could be big news any more. no silver bullet. we just tends to forget about it so very often. (unless we can prove for real.)
